Pecking Orders

Sometimes you just don't want to accept the truth, which can be defined as "verifiable reality".The truth often seems to contradict what we already believe, or would like to believe, about the world, or our place in it.

It is verifiable that some people are "better looking" than others, in the sense that, some people are more sexually, physically attractive than others. The criteria for determining this appears to be partly subjective, and partly objective.

Although beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, scientific research has demonstrated that there are indeed certain identifiable universal, objective standards of beauty. Youth or age is an objective measurement, but people respond to it subjectively, though in general youth seems to have the edge for attractiveness.

A ratio os 5 to 1, or 10 to 1; these things are purely objective, and all humans seem to respond to them is the same way. It is fascinating that a person with nose to eyes distance apart ratio with a certain mathematical relationship everyone considers beautiful, while a ration just a bit larger, or smaller, evokes universal repulsion. No one is sure why this is so, only that it is so.

It is tempting, quite tempting, to allege that attractive women are less friendly than their unattractive counterparts. There is empirical research which seems to indicate this. As if less attractive women cannot afford the luxury of aloofness, of being hard to get, high priced.

How we rank in the great pecking order of society impacts every aspect of our lives, doubtless yet another clever natural device of some sort. Pecking orders. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
